Question
State the formula for calculating length if:
Number of vernier scale division coinciding with the main scale and number of division of main scale on the left-hand side of zero of vernier scale is known.

Solution
If we know the number of vernier scale divisions (V.S.D.) coinciding with the main scale and a number of main scale divisions (M.S.D.) on the left-hand side of zero of vernier scale then Length recorded = Main scale reading + L.C. × V.S.D.

(a) A vernier scale has 20 divisions. It slides over the main scale, whose pitch is 0.5 mm. If the number of divisions on the left hand of the zero of vernier on the main scale is 38 and the 18th vernier scale division coincides with the main scale, calculate the diameter of the sphere, held in the jaws of vernier callipers.
(b) If the vernier has a negative error of 0.04 cm, calculate the corrected radius of the sphere.
